Specialist Posted June 12, 2015 Author Report Posted June 12, 2015 T minus 10 weeks and counting, once again. Current plan is to land at Swampy just after midnight, Sunday 23 Aug, DEROS Monday 7 Sep. Only definite plan is birthday celebration "nominally" Thursday 27 Aug. Details still TBD.
YimSiam Posted June 16, 2015 Report Posted June 16, 2015 I'm back to what feels like eternity - trip back to US for family reasons means i don't see a trip to LOS in the near future - say, around end August. T minus 9 weeks - I guess I shouldn't be so down about it, that's probably perfectly reasonable timing... YimSiam
Specialist Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Posted November 11, 2015 T minus 63 days and counting. Depart HSV 13 Jan oh-dark-hundred as usual. ETA Swampy late night 14 Jan. DEROS 31 Jan oh-dark-thirty as usual.
Specialist Posted November 25, 2015 Author Report Posted November 25, 2015 T minus 49 days and counting. And I wish the number was lower, but airfare over Christmas week is astronomical at the moment. (I may call and see if I can burn some miles.)
My Penis is hungry Posted November 25, 2015 Report Posted November 25, 2015 I've never paid so much for a ticket, granted I usually am in Thailand, but currently not, stunned the prices are double normal fairs from Aust to Bangkok. That said, Europe to Bangkok on Emerates is dam cheap. I got a ticket for my sister, one way, for less than $400. Have you looked a flying to Hong Kong or Singapore? I did that and also found cheaper solutions, doing the last leg with Air Asia
Specialist Posted November 25, 2015 Author Report Posted November 25, 2015 I suspect that part of the problem is that I'm fighting US dollar weaknesses, and part of it is that I'm fighting US airline greed.
YimSiam Posted November 28, 2015 Report Posted November 28, 2015 I suspect that part of the problem is that I'm fighting US dollar weaknesses, and part of it is that I'm fighting US airline greed. My greatest enemy is my unbreakable addiction to business class... This habit makes all economy fares - however theoretical they have become - look fucking beautiful and as reasonable as I could ask for...
Specialist Posted November 28, 2015 Author Report Posted November 28, 2015 However, the baht is also weak. Perspective. The first time I visited Bangkok, the baht was 40 to the US dollar. It is currently at about 35.
My Penis is hungry Posted November 29, 2015 Report Posted November 29, 2015 Not that different for me, I arrived first time in 97, I think the Baht had just been devalued, it was about 40, I was here for that giddy period where it soared above that, and sadly the 2009 to recently when it was low.
